Warriors: The Mike Grell Portfolio, Plate 3: Blood Moon (Tarzan)

Beauty with Grell going full color with not much of any ink outline to get a whole different feel to his artwork!

Grell honing his painting chops.! Happy to see this land in your collection!!

Huge congrats!!!

Nice!!

Stunning Mike Grell plate of Tarzan! Grell was so good at human anatomy and you can really appreciate that here! Tarzan's physique is perfectly depicted and his pose is just iconic! Love the action scene as Tarzan tries to take out a panther that wants him for dinner. The painting on this plate has a beautiful color palette! I love the deep blues contrasted with the light yellow of the background. The golden moon behind the Ape Man perfectly highlights the battle between man and cat! Great pick-up, congrats!

beautiful pièce my friend / congratulations !!!

I'm tempted to speculate if this may have been influenced by Neal's SQP Tarzan portfolios (published a couple of years earlier), but that could probably only be confirmed by Grell himself.  In any case, it's a striking piece that showcases Mike's considerable painting skills.

Spectaular Grell piece! The moon acting as a spot light and the choice of colors really makes this one stand out. Congrats!
